When you think of the great waterfalls in the world a couple undoubtedly come to mind; Victoria falls in Zimbabwe and Niagara Falls, straddling the American-Canadian border. But all good things come in three, right? And great waterfalls of the world are no exception to this, for this is no double act. Lurking deep in the jungle in South America on the Brazilian-Argentinean border lie the Iguazu Falls; higher than the Niagara Falls and wider than the Victoria falls, these falls are arguably the top dog in the field.
The name Iguazu comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y and ûasú, meaning 'water' and 'big', and with an average annual flow rate of 1,746 tonnes of water per second, it really lives up to its name. In fact the Iguazu falls has many apt names including the 'Devil's Throat', a part of it where water pours in from three sides and mist can rise up from the bottom from anywhere between 30 to 150 metres. If your brave enough you can witness this from a suspended platform at the bottom that you can walk out onto. If you don't have nerves of steel fear not, as there are many places to view the falls from, many of which are a lot less terrifying.
From the Brazilian side there is a long walkway which extends out into the canyon, from here you can find an extension that leads to the base of the Devil's Throat. The Brazilian side is where you'll want to be if you want to take to the air to see the falls, as it is the only place that does helicopter tours after Argentina banned them due to their environmental impact. A helicopter ride really offers you a sense of the scale of these falls and a chance to view the Iguazu Falls in a way many will not get to. However, it is understandable that to some, standing at the base of the Devil's Throat with thousands of tonnes of water landing at you feet may seem less scary.
Over two-thirds of the Iguazu Falls are located in Argentina and as such it is of no surprise that it offers you the best options as to places to view the falls from. Access to the falls on the Argentinean side is aided by the Rainforest Ecological Train. This train transports up 120 visitors through the Argentinean rainforest in an environmentally-friendly way and brings visitors to the Devil's Throat as well as the upper and lower trails. If you do not want to get the train there are many trails that you can take which bring you to various parts of the falls including the elongated stretch on the Argentinean side and to where you can catch the ferry to San martin island. One trail of note is the one-kilometre long Paseo Garganta del Diablo which brings you out right on top of the Devil's throat.
There is much to do at the Iguazu Falls, a highlight of which includes the Mancuco Safari. On this trip you get taken for three kilometre jeep-pulled wagon ride through the jungle whereby you have a chance to see and learn about the native flora and fauna here. The second part of this trip involves a short walk through the jungle getting an even closer look into this remarkable eco-system. But this second part is merely to facilitate the third, as it is a walk to the docks where you board motorised rigid-inflatable boats that will take you into the mist of the falls where the water crashes down from above. Be under no illusion, you are going to get wet, but it is all worth it for this unique experience and anyway, this is Brazil and you can always bask in the sunshine of the southern hemisphere to dry off.
The Iguazu falls are undoubtedly one of the most impressive natural occurrences in our world and, to many, are considered to be one of the natural wonders of the world. If you are in Brazil and have the time to spare, it is definitely worth trying to fit a trip to them into your visit. Being by the border with Argentina and Paraguay also means that you can easily access these other countries and thus extend your South American trip further afield from Brazil.
